[QUOTE="velis, post: 1146656, member: 96429"] Hm, interesting. ALL the providers here in Slovenia have this and it basically didn't change in the years since it became available. When I started using MP, I was the "cool guy" because I had MP's timeshifting feature. Well, that didn't last long. The feature is now available for something like 3 - 4 years by all the providers (they didn't implement it simultaneously, of course). I just made an inquiry to Slovenian DVB-C provider: you can watch TV over DVB-C, but for timeshifting you need an STB. So I guess the DVB-C standard itself prescribes nothing towards this feature. Bummer :( Here I thought it was standard :p I think this is pretty much supported by all providers that allow you to watch TV on your tablet / PC. Anyway, about the plugin: this requires a very versatile programmer because the client has to be fixed to offer the 3 choices mentioned above. Then it needs to tell TV server to tune into something that is not registered right now. Then the TV server would have to decide what to do based on registered channels and data it received. However, this is just not how TV server works. It requires scanned channels with static URLs. Well, I guess there could be a special channel "scanned" and one would modify the URL for it just before tuning into it. Might be an issue with PID and SID values though, except if we "recycle" the original TV channel - and even then there's a possibility for something gone wrong.
